The development of language skills, including reading and writing competence, Through social interaction, was observed to see how Literacy development occurs within a home environment.
Piaget’s theory suggests that children construct meaning by interacting with their surroundings. The way a child interacts within an environment is what creates learning (Mooney, 2000, p.61).
